Lazio achieved a difficult but important 2:1 away victory in a match from the 27th round of the Italian Serie A.

Mattia Zaccagni opened the scoring for the visitors in the 28th minute, and in the 67th Strahinja Pavlović left the Milan team with ten men on the field after a direct red card. Substitute Samuel Chukwueze restored parity in the 84th minute. However, the Rossoneri's hopes for a point were diminished in the eighth minute of added time, when Pedro scored from the penalty spot and brought the valuable three points for the Eagles.

Lazio are fourth with 50 points, eight off the top, while Milan, who lost for the third time in a row in the league after defeats to Torino and Bologna by the same score, are in an unenviable ninth position with 41 points, six off the top six and nine off the Champions League spot. In the next round, Sergio Conceicao's team visit Lecce, while Lazio first plays Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League and then hosts Udinese in Serie A.

In another match, Roma turned around 10-player Como to win 2:1 at the Olimpico. | BGNES
